These scholarships—$1,000 for masters and $1,500 for doctoral students— will be awarded on a competitive basis for Spring 2009. Since these are competitive scholarships, non-Texas resident recipients will be entitled to pay at the much lower Texas resident tuition rate. Although the entire scholarship will be credited to each recipient’s student account in Spring 2009, non-Texas residents will also receive Texas resident tuition adjustments in Summer 2009.
Minimum qualifications for this scholarship:
• 3.0 (or higher) GPA.
For former UT Arlington graduate students, based on UT Arlington graduate GPA.
For new UT Arlington graduate students, based admissions GPA (as calculated by the Office of Graduate Studies).
• Must apply for Spring 2009 admission or readmission prior to submitting scholarship application.
• Unconditional admission or readmission to UT Arlington for Spring 2009. Note: Students provisional for transcripts showing final grades and degree may also apply.
• Must be a degree seeking master’s or doctoral student taking courses at UT Arlington in Spring 2009.
• Must be enrolled in at least 6 semester hours of UT Arlington graduate coursework in Spring 2009 as of census date (February 4, 2009).
• For former students, preference will be given to graduate students in their final (graduating) semester of enrollment, or enrolled in 5698 or 6999 courses.
Priority Deadline: December 1, 2008
If there are students that you want to recruit to your respective programs and you feel that this opportunity will influence their decision to enroll at UT Arlington in Spring 2009, we encourage you to submit recommendation letters (that include the their full name and ID number) on their behalf.
